Finally, although no correlation was found between the expression of each miRNA and other clinicopathological features (Ki67, CD38, ZAP70, and IGVH@ hypermutations), the OS curves showed a positive trend in patients with miRNAs downregulation, though not statistically significant.

By 8 months of age, he had improved to the 5 th percentile, showing a positive trend in growth.

Quantification shows a positive trend in polyGR+ aggregate levels in AD cases with CERAD scoring neuritic plaques from “none” to “sparse” to “moderate” and “frequent”, in which AD cases with CERAD scores of “frequent” showed significantly increased polyGR+ aggregate levels compared to those without neuritic plaques (CERAD scores = none) ( p = 1.13 × 10 −4 ) (Fig. 3 h).

Again, with a sample of 2,125 men and women with two complete dietary recalls and BMD scans of the hip and spine, Mangano and colleagues [ 59 ] observed a positive trend between dietary omega 3 and BMD at the femoral neck and the spine in multivariate regression models, but those trends were not significant, and once again, the osteoporosis diagnosis was not taken into account.
